Keeping a Gun in Your Car at Work
Recently, Florida and Utah enacted laws that allow gun owners to keep a weapon locked in their car even if your employer doesn't allow it. They deemed the vehicle private property and not within the control of the employer.
Right now, Indiana is going through this same thing. It's a pretty hot topic. I'm hopeful the General Assembly will approve a similar measure.
If your employer tells you that you can not keep a weapon in your car on their parking lot then, in effect, they are preventing you from carrying a weapon while traveling to and from work. For many, that's a long commute in the course of a day.
Personally, I think a weapon should be lawful anywhere the state law says it is. The ONLY restrictions on it should be those listed in the law. I can understand an employer not wanting a weapon on the premises but if you stop weapons, where do you draw the line? Religious stickers on your bumper?
I just thought I would mention this. As I said, it's a bit heated right now in Indiana and thought you all might want to know about it.
